The RemembranceWare: Communion Bread Plate Base - Silver Finish is made of the same high-end, food grade stainless steel as are all RemembranceWare pieces. It achieves it's beautiful silver shine through a polishing process. This is the base which the Communion Stacking Bread Plates rest upon. It gives support and creates a dramatic foundation for the stacked Communion Plates. The Communion Bread Plate Base is standard size (1 1/8" high and has a diameter of 8 1/4"). The edges are double rounded to ensure a smooth and safe feel to this piece. RemembranceWare pieces are easily cleaned with mild soap and water and a soft cloth.
